The Vino Versum Poysdorf is a municipal museum dedicated to the wine and culture history of Poysdorf and the Weinviertel ("wine quarter").

History

Poysdorf is a center of wine growing in Austria with 500 Hectare vineyards. The wine growing tradition goes back to the Middle Ages and was first mentioned in 1338.[1] 1582 the then village received a market right and developed huge wealth through growing and trading wine. 1910 a first municipal museum was established, 1978 it was reopened in the city´s old almshouse. 2013 the Lower Austria Provincial Exhibition took place in Poysdorf, 4 million Euros were invested in the enlargement and renovation of the museums area.[2] In April 2014 a new designed permanent exhibition was reopened with the name Vino Versum Poysdorf.

Buildings

The main building is a former almshouse, built in 1653. 1664 a baroque chapel, dedicated to St. Barbara, was added. The building is surrounded by an open air area with vineyards, press houses with cellars and a barn with an exhibition about the development of wine presses. A historic wine cellar, passing under a highway, connects the old almshouse and open air area with a plaza, surrounded by a contemporary exhibition buildinn, the Hall of Grapes, and an adapted vintner´s house with a vinothek, souvenir shop and visitor center.
